What Does CBD Feel Like When I Am a First-time User?

Personally, I never knew about CBD. I only came to know about it when I started experiencing mild anxiety after hectic moments at work. My workload was increasing and I had to spend more hours sitting in front of a computer. This gave me back pain and palpitations as I did my usual financial analysis.

I decided to consult my doctor Michelle. I didn’t know my condition was that serious until she recommended that I needed some medication. I took the issue with the seriousness it deserved and I ended up taking a week leave just as my doctor had recommended,

My first encounter with CBD

It is this time I knew that I had to find a lasting solution to my anxiety. I couldn’t afford to take a leave just anytime I wanted. It was high time I faced my challenges and this led me to attend a pastoral gathering held back at our church. It was here that I met Lisa and she talked to me about CBD. This was after I shared my life stories and how stressed I was back at my workplace.

As her life story Lisa was at one time suffering from similar back pain and anxiety and with the help of CBD, she managed to recover. She recommends that I should start taking approximately 50,g of CBD twice in a day. She also assured me that after taking it I would not feel stoned unlike taking THC which also belongs to the cannabis family.

Why I first hesitated

Even after the life experience, I was hesitant to try out CBD. I still believed that it would make me high and have me lose focus or even worse become Insane. I probably exaggerated that but that’s the kind of mixed feeling that I had back in my mind whenever I thought of trying CBD.

I was also worried about what would happen to me if by any chance I took an overdose. What would be the possible side effects? Is CBD clinically proven? I love myself and I couldn’t risk watching myself losing my productivity.

I knew how paranoid I could be and despite all the doubts I had I chose to keep it all to myself. I feared that as I shared my doubts with Lisa I would overreact. I decided to carry the cross all by myself and research on my own.

My research on CBD

When I got home I started researching about CBD almost immediately. Some of the important details I found online are: I found a website online that was talking about the benefits of CBD. I happened to talk about one Aaron, who walked me through the whole process and even allowed me to guest post on the website and share my experience after using CBD.

CBD is a cannabinoid compound that occurs naturally in cannabis and hemp. The same cannot be said about THC or tetrahydrocannabinol that are all responsible for making one get high on smoking or eating marijuana. CBD, on the other hand, has no psychoactive. In fact, taking CBD is not associated with any side effects and with the amount you are supposed to take unless you want to overdose you can’t do it by mistake.

In the United States, several other countries from all over the globe CBD has been legalized. Our body contains cannabinoid receptors specifically on the skin and the digestive system. The endocannabinoid system facilitates the following processes in the body: fast immune response, neuroprotection, stress relief, ensuring state of balance on our bodies and in the process positively impaction mood, appetite sleep, and pain. Consuming CBD is particularly useful for people who are anxious, have insomnia, people in pain, vomiting, and nausea.

I discovered that taking CBD is totally safe and there are no serious fatalities even in overdose cases. In 1980 a study was conducted and 15 patients together with 8 volunteers were used as test subjects. The test subjects took CBD on a daily basis and it was found that they all tolerated it safely and showed no signs of toxicity. Even CBD in an overdose is safely tolerated by the body.

My detailed research convinced me that my worries were baseless and that I had to start taking CBD for my condition to get better.

My experience using CBD for the first time

Just as recommended by Lisa I started off by consuming 50mg of CBD twice every day. Just before I took breakfast in the morning and before I went to bed administering it under my tongue. In the first week of taking CBD, I was able to do away with the pain meds that I was taken initially to relieve my lower back pain. My anxiety reduced significantly and this motivated me to continue with my daily dosage.

The second week was when concrete results really showed. My anxiety was no more, I felt more relaxed and confident and at the same time had a good night sleep. At work, I was more comfortable and confident and I even started exercising to feel fit and healthy overall.

Transformation of my life

It’s amazing how CBD helped transform my life and I am forever grateful for this nature’s gift. Now CBD is part of my day to day life. In other words my wonder drug. I’m now a strong woman who is confident to face the day to day life challenges and the next time I met Lisa she was so happy with my transformation.

The start of a new life and a new best friend

Lisa and I have become quite good friends and we communicate on social media and sometimes on call. We don’t meet often since she lives in another state and only major church gatherings bring us together. Lisa is a housewife and has a 5yr old daughter who she adores and loves a lot.

I can confidently say that I have a new friend in CBD. It helped relieve my back pain and reduce anxiety. I am a better version now, more confident and empowered. I decided to share my experience to shed the light on people who were going through something similar that there is hope.
